The paper identifies tau pathology in the dorsal raphe nucleus as a potential early indicator of Alzheimer's disease, linked to behavioral changes and neuroinflammation.

This study shows chronic alcohol exposure increases social avoidance in male mice by enhancing serotonergic inputs to the nucleus accumbens, which inhibits dopamine release and reduces social motivation.

The paper examines how chronic ethanol exposure affects ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression in specific brain regions, suggesting increased vulnerability to SARS-CoV-2 neuroinvasion.

The paper shows that homeostatic plasticity at the Drosophila NMJ has distinct induction and maintenance phases, with IP3-directed signaling specifically required for maintenance.

This study introduces Drosophila models with human migraine mutations in CaV2 channels, showing hyperexcitability that can be suppressed by inhibiting intracellular Ca2+ release.
